When the lottery guest read out the name "AC Milan", there was a burst of laughter.
Then the TV camera moved up and focused on the note displayed by the guests, which indeed had the name "AC Milan" printed on it.
Sanchez was then given a close-up shot.
Sanchez's expression in the camera finally changed this time, with a wry smile on his face.
There's a reason why everyone is laughing, and so is Sanchez's wry smile.
Valencia was eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals last season because of their encounter with AC Milan.
Now it's not that enemies don't get together, the two teams meet again, and again in the quarter-finals.
Is this Valencia's perfect revenge, or does AC Milan continue to climb up on Valencia's corpse?
In the last Champions League, AC Milan defeated Valencia, advanced all the way to the final, and finally defeated Juventus in a penalty shootout to win the Champions League championship.
Unexpectedly, in the quarter-finals of this season, the two teams met again.
Is Valencia really AC Milan's lucky star?
As the defending champion this season, AC Milan has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Their performance in the domestic league is also very outstanding. After the 24th round of Serie A, AC Milan topped the list with 61 points, leading the second place.
As many as five points ahead of Roma. It's more than Valencia's lead over Real Madrid.
This AC Milan team is full of famous players, and the defense is full of world-class defenders. Cafu, Maldini, Nesta, Costacurta.
Although Rivaldo is missing from the midfield, the outstanding performance of Brazilian teenager Kaka has made AC Milan fans forget about his fellow Brazilian.
In addition, there are Seedorf, Rui Costa, Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini.
On the front line are Inzaghi, Shevchenko and Tomasson, as well as rookie Boleno.
This is a much stronger opponent than Stuttgart.
Meeting them in Valencia is not necessarily a good thing.
"...No wonder Sanchez smiled bitterly. I'm afraid he doesn't want to meet such an opponent!" said the TV host who broadcast the lottery ceremony.
But he was wrong.
The smile on Sanchez's face was not a wry smile, even though he was pretending to be one.
In fact, when "AC Milan" was read out, Sanchez smiled, but not bitterly, but happily.
As Soler's confidant, he naturally knew what Soler was worried about during this time.
The results of Changsheng Chou are great!
Previously, Valencia was held to a draw by Espanyol, the second-last team in the league, in an away game. Soler thought he had finally come to the end of his hardships, waiting for the moment when fortune turned.
Valencia will go downhill from here, and the victory will also turn everyone away.
Who would have thought that when they played Deportivo La Coruna next, Valencia actually won a clean 3:0 at home! At the same time, Real Madrid also lost, and the one-point gap became three points.
Soler was so angry that he cursed his mother in the office.
This is the luck of winning...
I thought he was going to die, but he came back to life.
He is lucky to win, but Soler is unhappy.
Seeing Valencia getting closer to the championship day by day, Soler was very distressed because he had no excuse to drive away the winner.
At this time, the draw results for the Champions League quarter-finals came out, and Valencia actually met AC Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals!
That's Valencia... no, they're old enemies who always win.
He was eliminated by AC Milan last season. If he is eliminated by AC Milan again this season... he believes that Soler must have something to say.
For two consecutive seasons, the Champions League has failed in the quarterfinals, both times being eliminated by AC Milan. People say that a person cannot always trip over the same stone. When Valencia loses, they can blame Chang Sheng.
Valencia, under his leadership, has made no progress in the Champions League and it is impossible to lead the team to a breakthrough in the Champions League.
At that time, Soler can refuse to continue with Chang Sheng on the grounds that Valencia needs to seek its own position in the Champions League and does not need a coach who can only win league championships, but needs a coach with rich Champions League experience.
About a year.
Then of course Chang Sheng can get out.
God is really helping me!
That's why Sanchez laughed out loud for the first time.
But he immediately realized that at this time, the TV cameras would definitely be staring at him. If he showed a happy smile, would it look too fake? And it would also be used to provoke criticism - when he met such a powerful opponent,
If you are still smiling so happily, there must be something wrong!
Sanchez was also very good at changing his face, and he immediately turned his happy smile into a helpless smile.
From the perspective of outsiders, even I feel helpless about the result of the lottery.
This is the expression one should have when encountering a strong enemy.
Sanchez himself is proud of his wit and acting skills.
※※※
In front of the TV, there was a person who was sincerely happy to have drawn such a strong team.
When the guest read "AC Milan", Chang Sheng raised his arms and jumped up from the sofa.
"Yes!"
He shook his fist.
If he had been at the scene at that time, I'm afraid he would have made such an action.
Because since being eliminated by AC Milan, he has been thinking about revenge for a long time.
But at that time, I didn’t know when I would meet AC Milan next in the Champions League. What if I didn’t meet AC Milan after five years?
Unexpectedly, it was only a year later that I would meet AC Milan.
This is a good time for revenge!
He and the team will be full of fighting spirit to play this game!
He had just finished celebrating the lottery result when a call from Torra arrived on his mobile phone.
"Tell me what you think about this draw result, Chang. Some people say this is another strong evidence that UEFA deliberately manipulates the draw results."
Chang Sheng doesn't care at all about UEFA manipulating the draw results.
"It was controlled by UEFA? Then I have to thank UEFA!"
Torla was stunned when he heard what Chang Sheng said: "Why?"
"Because I really want to play against AC Milan, and my Valencia also really want to play against AC Milan!" Chang Sheng said. "I want to thank UEFA for drawing us together with AC Milan.
This way we will have a chance to get revenge. What it felt like when we were eliminated by them...this time we will let them have a taste of it!"
Chang Sheng, who was very excited just now, was a little excited when he spoke, and he gritted his teeth when he said the last sentence.
Torla understands why his winning streak is thanks to UEFA.
"So, you are very confident that the team will pass AC Milan and enter the semi-finals?" he asked.
Chang Sheng smiled and said: "Of course! We will definitely win AC Milan!"
※※※
The next day, major European media evaluated and analyzed the latest draw results. They predicted who would advance to the semi-finals and who would not, and what their respective reasons were.
This is the repertoire after each draw result.
The head coaches of each team also accept interviews at this time to show their confidence or a humble and low-key attitude.
This time, Valencia, a Spanish coastal city, has become the focus of people's attention.
Because the Valencia media exposed Chang Sheng’s interview with the media after the draw.
"I am very happy to play against AC Milan, because we will get revenge this time. I would like to thank UEFA for drawing us together with AC Milan. We were eliminated by them at the beginning, and we must let them do the same this time.
Have a taste!”
Chang Sheng's words were so resounding that they immediately attracted the attention of media from all over Europe.
AC Milan was the winner of the Champions League last season. Although that final was considered the most boring final, they were the real champions. This season, they are the defending champions of the Champions League. At the same time, they are also ranked No. 1 in the domestic league.
one.
This is a typical wealthy family style.
Fighting on multiple fronts, they are strong on all fronts. This kind of performance can only be achieved by a wealthy team with a deep foundation and a strong bench.
Look at Valencia, although they have been an upstart in La Liga in the past two seasons, they have always encountered problems in multi-line operations. They were eliminated from the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup and the quarterfinals of the Champions League. They were eliminated.
His performance in the knockout rounds of the Champions League is really unflattering.
Now such a Valencia team is actually saying that they want revenge and want to eliminate AC Milan, which is really ridiculous.
Not to mention eliminating AC Milan, even if it is the domestic league championship, they have not won it yet.
I really don’t know where his ridiculous confidence comes from!
"Gazzetta dello Sport" responded quickly. They happily recalled with their readers the scene when Valencia was eliminated by AC Milan in the quarter-finals of last year's Champions League. In the end, they said that they always beat this person.
He likes to talk nonsense when there is nothing wrong. His approach may work in Spain, but when he comes to Italy, he will never come back.
"Valencia dominates La Liga, and even Real Madrid and Barcelona are not their opponents... It sounds powerful, but in fact it is nothing more than that. You must know that the best league in football today is our Serie A.
Valencia's behavior is just because they are in La Liga, and their opponents' pressing and defense are not very strict. Otherwise, in Serie A, it would be impossible to give them the space and time to use their own tactics. Italy's chain defense is not
Just kidding..."
I’ve been talking for a long time, but that’s what I mean anyway – if you haven’t proven yourself in Serie A, and if you win consistently, don’t ever be crazy in front of Serie A teams!
You were eliminated from the UEFA Cup by Inter Milan and the Champions League by AC Milan. What qualifications do you have?
Don't think that you have conquered Italy by winning Roma. The center of Italian football is Turin and Milan, not Rome!
Is the Mad Dog tactic very powerful? Our Christmas tree formation is also very powerful!
AC Milan club president Silvio Berlusconi also expressed disdain for Chang Sheng.
When the reporter asked him what he thought of Chang Sheng's remarks, he snorted coldly: "Chinese? Ha! That's my opinion!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster. !)
